You can use the DSSSL tools with XML input, so if you already have content in DocBook XML you don't need to change it. As I understand it, the DSSSL PDF output using jadetex is currently superior to any of the free XSL FO implementations out there. That will doubtless change over the next year, but if you're not interested in being at the bleeding edge, DSSSL works. <plug>And we make if phenomenally easy to use if you're using FreeBSD</plug> N -- FreeBSD: The Power to Serve http://www.freebsd.org/ FreeBSD Documentation Project http://www.freebsd.org/docproj/ --- 15B8 3FFC DDB4 34B0 AA5F 94B7 93A8 0764 2C37 E375 ---
